“Beyond the Headlines: Israelis, Iranians, and Palestinians in Their Own Words. United Against the War.”

Register here! 1800 – 1930h CET (5-6:30 pm BST, 7-8:30 pm TLV time)

Dear friends,

Reporting on conflicts and wars, such as those in Iran, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and many other places, often runs the risk of reducing entire communities and regions to a single narrative, or of portraying people as enemies or as having monolithic views. It is also not uncommon for the voices of those directly affected – whether Israelis, Iranians or Palestinians – who speak out against authoritarianism and the current wars to be missing.

It is rare to hear directly from people who experience these realities at first hand and whose daily lives are shaped by conflict, displacement and oppression. This event aims to change that. The focus is on first-hand accounts; we are giving space to people and stories from the directly affected countries and from the diaspora, which, across different communities, reflect their shared call for dignity, security and freedom. We want to bring depth, humanity and clarity to a discussion that is all too often dominated by distant commentators and political actors.

Join us as we discuss this pressing situation with our panel:

• Dr. Sarit Larry is an active member of Israeli civil society and Deputy ED of strategy and content at Zazim – Community action.
• Amira Musallam is a Palestinian researcher and advocate, focusing on conflict-related data collection, political violence analysis, and unarmed civilian protection.
• And further guests
• Moderation: Amélie Pasmanns and Maximilian Fries from Europe Calling

Hosted by: 38 Degrees, Campact, Zazim, Europe Calling and NODE

The webinar will be simultaneously translated into German and English.

Join us and invite others.
